Scott LaFee of UC San Diego Health says of his story on bacteriophage therapy : “ S c i e n t i fi c progress tends to be painfully slow and incremental , but Patterson and Strathdee ’ s dramatic tale of life-ordeath speaks to science pursued in a way only possible at a place like UC San Diego .”
Triton contributor Laura Margoni is excited to see how UC San Diego will change in the years ahead . “ There are so many transformative projects taking shape — from the trolley coming to campus to a UC San Diego outpost downtown . There ’ s a very progressive , thoughtful approach to growth that is inspiring to see .”
Freelance writer AnnaMaria Stephens , ’ 97 was a bit nervous to interview Walter Munk . “ He ’ s an icon of oceanography whose accomplishments go well beyond the bounds of science . But whatever intimidation I felt went out the window the minute I met Walter . He is an old-world gentleman with a lifetime of incredible stories to tell , and I enjoyed every last second of our time together .”
